Sokov used the firelight in the German fortifications next to him to see clearly that the person talking to him in front of him was a man of medium build wearing vertical striped prison uniform. Although his hair was disheveled and he had a full beard, he still
It can be seen that he is a handsome man. Sokov thought to himself: Who is this? Why can he call me by my real name and father's name?
He felt that this man looked very familiar, and secretly wondered if he had seen this man before. Seeing that Sokov was still silent, the man continued: "My God, you really
It’s little Misha, who looks exactly like Uncle Misha. Don’t you recognize me? I’m Yakov!”
Hearing that the Russian spoken by this man was mixed with a strong Georgian accent, it would be ridiculous for Sokov to be unable to guess the identity of the other person. Just as he was about to speak, Seryosha had already ran over and tilted his head.
After taking a look at Yakov, he said to him: "Major Sokov, the prisoner of war camp has been checked, and all the prisoners of war have been rescued."
Sokov did not want Seryosha to know Yakov's identity, so he ordered him: "Now that our mission has been completed, let's move. Remember, transport all the wounded and sacrificed soldiers back. I will do this."
I’ll leave it to you and do it yourself.”
After sending Seryosha away, Sokov avoided all the soldiers, pulled Yakov aside and asked tentatively: "Yakov, how do you know my real name and father's name? Have we met before?"
"Misha, what's wrong with you?" Yakov looked at Sokov and asked strangely. In terms of address, he did not use the polite and distant "you" but the closer "you": "Don't you
Have you really forgotten all about me? You know, when I first came to Moscow from Georgia, I didn’t know a word of Russian and no one was with me. I stayed in a luxurious apartment every day in a daze. Then one day, Uncle Misha took you
I came to visit my father. We met at that time and soon became good friends. Don’t forget, you taught me my Russian..."
"What, I'm good friends with Stalin's son?! I even taught him to speak Russian?!... What is all this?!" Yakov's understatement made Sokov feel nervous.
He felt confused, and he even felt like he was dreaming, a ridiculous dream. All of this was really beyond the scope of normal people's understanding.
The most regretful thing for Sokov was that when he took this body, he did not inherit the memory of the original owner. He could only understand some of "his" past experiences through his old neighbor Seryosha. Seeing Yako
The husband looked at him with a surprised look on his face, and he quickly covered it up and said: "Yakov, you don't know something. I suffered a serious shock injury during the German bombing a few months ago, which caused all my previous memories to change.
It became a blank.”
In order to increase his persuasion, he also pointed to Seryosha's back in the distance and said to Yakov: "The second lieutenant who just left is an old neighbor of my family. He studied with me, worked together, and even joined the army together, but
After I was injured, I couldn't even recognize who he was, let alone anyone else."
After successfully convincing Yakov with this far-fetched explanation, Sokov then continued: "Yakov, I learned that you were being held in the prisoner of war camp in Duminich, so I specially brought people to rescue you.
you."
Yakov didn't believe Sokov's statement. He said to himself, if I hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't even know who I am, and now you are here specifically to rescue me. Who would believe this?
But no matter what, someone else saved him from the tiger's mouth after all, and this friendship should be remembered. Thinking of this, he asked lightly: "Major Sokov, how did you know that I was locked up in this prisoner of war camp?
"
When Sokov heard that Yakov's name for him had changed, he guessed that the other party must not believe what he said, so he explained to him: "It's Lieutenant Valerian who was captured with you. He was rescued not long ago.
, incorporated into my army, he told me."
Hearing Sokov mention Valerian, Yakov let down his guard. He looked around and asked, "Where is he?"
"In the battle just now," Sokov said with a serious expression, "he died in the exchange of fire with the enemy."
After a brief silence, Yakov asked: "Misha, does he know about this rescue operation?"
Sokov knew that the "he" Yakov was referring to was Stalin. He quickly shook his head and said: "This rescue operation was decided on my own without reporting it to anyone. Only the people who knew the inside story of the operation were
Three people, including Valerian who has been sacrificed."
Yakov nodded and then asked: "Misha, tell me, will he be angry when I was captured by the Germans?"
"Yakov, he will definitely be angry about your capture." Sokov thought that he had seen in a document that not long after Yakov died in the prisoner of war camp, Stalin had a stroke, maybe two
There is an inseparable connection between them. He decided to do his best to resolve the conflict between father and son. So he looked at Yakov and said: "But he is more worried about your safety. As far as I know
, he once sent several special operations teams to rescue you, but due to various reasons, they all ended in failure."
"Really?" Yakov grabbed Sokov's hand and asked excitedly: "Did he really send someone to rescue me?"
"Yes, it's true." Sokov suddenly remembered that Yakov's capture had greatly embarrassed Stalin. Although he sent people to rescue him privately, he never admitted it in public. This time he was unauthorized
The operation successfully rescued Yakov. If he was sent back to Moscow with great fanfare, so that Stalin could not step down in public, not only would he not have any credit, but he might also lose his life. Thinking of this, he carefully reminded Yakov
: "Yakov, your capture has been used by the Germans to make a fuss, so he did not admit it publicly to avoid affecting the morale and morale of the army. Therefore, your rescue cannot be publicized, you understand.
?”
After hearing this, Yakov nodded and agreed reluctantly: "I understand."
"Does anyone in this prison camp know you?"
Hearing this question, Yakov frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Probably not. I was just sent here two days ago and was locked in a separate room. I haven't interacted with these prisoner of war camps yet.
Anyone here has spoken."
Knowing that no one in the prisoner-of-war camp knew Yakov, Yakov couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He said to himself that it would be fine if no one knew him. In this way, the news would not leak out. He took out the first aid kit he carried with him and said to Yakov
Yakov said: "Yakov, I want to put a bandage on your face to prevent people who know you from recognizing you. Is that okay?"
"Okay." Yakov readily agreed to Sokov's proposal.
Since there were hundreds of rescued prisoners of war, the six sleds carried by the team could not fit on them, so everyone had to march on foot in the snow in the forest. After two days of walking on the road, they finally returned to the unknown highlands.
After Sokov ordered Seryosha to take the prisoners of war to rest, he returned to the battalion command post with Yakov, whose face was covered with bandages. As soon as he entered the command post, Belkin came up to him and said anxiously
